The money might be drying up in Hollywood, but there’s still plenty of cash being made in the graveyard. The 13 iconic figures on Forbes’ list of the Top-Earning Dead Celebrities grossed a collective $886 million in the past 12 months.

Topping the list for the first time is Yves Saint Laurent, who earned $350 million to beat out Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Andy Warhol.
